Steelers coach Mike Tomlin doesn’t know who his starting quarterback will be in 2025.
Tomlin said today there are “a lot of unanswered questions” about Pittsburgh’s future, and the quarterback position is one of them. Tomlin said he hasn’t ruled out bringing back Russell Wilson, or Justin Fields, or both, but he also hasn’t ruled out moving on from them both and bringing in a new starter.
“We don’t have a quarterback under contract,” Tomlin said. “We’re certainly willing to consider those guys, but we have a lot of work ahead of us.”
Tomlin said the Steelers have a lot of work to do before free agency and the draft to determine which quarterbacks are available.
In reality, it’s hard to believe the Steelers would enter the 2025 season with either Wilson or Fields as their starter. As promising as it sometimes seemed, no one in Pittsburgh could be satisfied with the end result. And if the Steelers want to get past the wild card round, they’ll likely need a new quarterback to get them there.
